ASC X12 277CA Health Care Claim Acknowledgment

Acronym: EDI

The ASC X12 277CA transaction is generated by an insurance company or clearinghouse to return information about the delivery or processing of a claim to the provider in a standardized electronic format. The ASC X12 277CA transaction is created without provider needing to use an ASC X12 276. Today, many insurance companies respond to claims using their own report formats and/or electronic transaction formats. The ASC X12 277CA offers a common interface to the insurance company and the provider, thus standardizing the response. Because a claim may progress through several different statuses before reaching a final processing disposition, a provider may receive multiple ASC X12 277CA transactions for a single claim.
